Lamictal 100mg Side Effect: Itchy Skin Concerns?
I am on Lamictal 100mg since last November The last 2weeks been having itchy skin no rash could this be the begging of Steven Johnson syndrome
Cosmetologist
Answered on 4th Sept '24
Lamictal may cause itchy skin without any rash. Although rare, Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a concern. Fever, skin pain, and red or purple rash indicate SJS. If worried, talk to your doctor immediately. They'll determine if it's medication-related or not. Don't stop taking Lamictal before consulting your dermatologist.

I feel itching all over my body and the rashes disappear suddenly after few minutes and again appears after few hours
Female | 17
You may have a medical condition known as hives. They usually cause an itchy rash that comes and goes within a couple of minutes. They are sometimes caused by allergies, stress, or infections. Over-the-counter antihistamines and triggering agent avoidance, like certain foods or products, can help with the itching. If hives are still there or getting worse, a visit to dermatologist would be good.

Sir actually whenever my mother has fever and after recovery her upper body gets dry
Female | 61
Fever can cause dry skin, which is common after recovering. However, it shouldn't last too long. Make sure your mom stays well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water and applying a gentle moisturizer regularly to nourish her skin. If the dryness continues or worsens, visit a dermatologist and they can explore more solutions to address the issue effectively.

My face is burn from sun please give advice
Male | 32
Sunburn can happen when your skin gets too much sunlight. It may feel red, hot, and painful. To cool the sunburn, you can try putting cool cloths and aloe vera gel on your skin. Avoid sun exposure until your skin has healed. Drink plenty of water to help your skin recover faster. Always use sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun.

Hi doctor, I'm experiencing skin redness and severe itching. and it's really uncomfortable. Please let me know about regarding the cause and medications if any thanks
Male | 25
You’re dealing with a skin problem known as eczema. Eczema can make the skin red and extremely itchy because it’s inflamed. You should use mild skin care products regularly and moisturize often to help yourself. If you need relief, try using some over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream. Don’t scratch or it will get worse. In case these signs don’t go away or become worse, see a dermatologist for more help.

Nido r Biofiber transplant
Male | 27
Nido and Biofibre are two types of alternative artificial hair transplantation procedures that can be used instead of traditional techniques. Nido incorporates the use of synthetic fibers that mimic natural hair, whereas Biofibre uses biocompatible artificial fibers to lower allergies. Both of these operations are less invasive than traditional hair transplants and can provide faster results, but there is a risk of infection or rejection by an organism. It is important to consult an expert dermatologist or hair transplant specialist in order to know the risks and benefits of these approaches for treating your peculiar case.

Hello doctor can microdermabrasion work for pregnancy stretch marks?
Female | 32
Microdermabrasion does not work in pregnancy stretch marks. It is either CO2 Laser with PRP or micro-needling radiofrequency with PRP that works best

I am 54 and have had a swollen, red, itchy, scaly skin leg from the knee to the toes. I’ve been to the doctor 3 times and they checked for a blood clot and ran tests. No clots. Tried 2 different antibiotics that were prescribed and no change. Icing doesn’t change. Elevation doesn’t change. Compression socks doesn’t change it either. Resting it doesn’t help either.
Male | 54
It seems that you have a resistant skin problem on your leg. The redness, swelling, itching and flakiness could indicate different illnesses such as dermatitis or eczema. After excluding blood clots and failure of antibiotics treatment, it might be helpful to have them checked more thoroughly by a dermatologist. They can suggest different kind of therapy which will be more efficient taking into account the exact nature of the disease.

I have to use cleanser water and which one is better for me I don’t know I’m sensitive skin
Female | 17
It is best to consult a dermatologist who can recommend a suitable cleanser for your skin type. A gentle, fragrance-free cleanser that is designed for sensitive skin, such as Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, could be a good option. However, it is always best to seek professional advice to ensure the best care for your skin. They may ask other health conditions like regarding your gut health, other issues etc and accordingly prescribe.

I want to know the best skincare for a 27 year old lady with dry skin type. I am ready to use sunscreen, oil, peptides, supplements etc. I have been noticing fine lines around my eyes and blackheads near nose.
Female | 27
For fine lines around eyes: We first need to ascertain whether it is a static or a dynamic wrinkle. For static wrinkle, retinol-based creams or serums and polyhydroxy acids creams will do the job. And for Dynamic wrinkle, the only treatment option is Botulinum Toxin(BOTOX) Injections. Black heads, above creams will take care of the problem, if not then lasers might be required.

I had an operation on back side of my head in which the area was infected with an infection called carbuncle and it was cut to remove it and then the skin there regenerated soon, but its 3 years and the hair there hasn't grown yet. the diameter of that are is approx 5cm. Is there any other way to get hair back without hair transplant?
Male | 14
I recommend that you see a dermatologist for this issue. The scar tissue that resulted from the surgery might have injured the hair follicles, thus depriving them of any regrowth. Unfortunately, there is no scientifically based treatment to re-grow hair in scar tissue except by means of a transplant. Some topical treatments may be prescribed by a dermatologist

Hello doctor ,I’m Harsha 23 years old , and I’m suffering from fever from day before yesterday, Along with it I did get few res spots all over the body,and body is so itchy , also my main consent is I do have leg pain and I’m unable to walk unable to stand also and I just observed face is turning red and slight swelling. Just want to know what kind of problem I’m I suffering from
Female | 23
You may be experiencing a viral fever with a skin rash, a condition known as viral exanthem. The leg pain, swelling, and difficulty walking could indicate inflammation in your joints, which is referred to as viral arthritis. These symptoms are often associated with viral infections like dengue or chikungunya. I recommend getting plenty of rest, staying hydrated, and using over-the-counter pain relievers for relief. If your symptoms worsen or persist for an extended period, it's important to consult a dermatologist.

White scare on foreskin some time itching
Male | 24
It appears that you may be suffering from thrush, a fungal infection. White patches and itching on the foreskin are some of the most typical symptoms of it. This might occur when the balance of yeast is uneven which is why the pathogenic fungi will multiply. The use of a clean and dry area may eliminate this risk. It's best to consult a dermatologist who can prescribe anti-fungal medication tailored to your condition.

I'm suffering from scalp folliculitis since 2 years . I have consumed various medication as advised earlier (Tablet doxycycline, tablet metronidazole, tablet clindamycin,tablet isotretinoin).these medications ka affective only till I take the medicine and then the pustules reappear. These are very painful and very itchy .
Female | 21
This is when the hair follicles on your head become infected leading to painful sores with pus which are also itchy. I can see that the drugs that you have used before don’t seem to work well for you in the long run. One should visit a dermatologist who might prescribe stronger medications or other treatments such as medicated shampoos or creams for clearing up these infections and preventing their recurrence.

You may have gotten a heat rash on your forehead and back in the heat. This happens when moisture ducts get clogged and sweat gets trapped under your skin, in effect, red bumps are formed. Avoid hot and humid places, stay cool, dress in loose clothes, and use a cold compress. Keep your skin dry and clean.

i have a piple on my dick for 2 years
Male | 19
Pimples pop up anywhere - face, body, even intimate regions. Sometimes sweat, dirt, or oils block skin pores, leading to blemishes. Resist urges to squeeze or burst pimples. This risks infection. Maintain cleanliness and dryness down there. If pimples persist or worsen, see a dermatologist promptly.

How to stop hair loss and hair thinnig
Male | 19
Hair loss can occur due to stress, poor nutrition, hormone changes, and genetics. You may notice more strands on your pillow or shower drain. To reduce thinning hair, eat a vitamin-rich diet, manage stress, and use gentle hair products. Excessive heat styling should be avoided. Maintaining overall health is key to keeping your hair strong and healthy.

I am 16 yrs old female and have skin warts on face from the time when I was kid about 5 to 6 yrs old and my father and brother also have warts on face what to do any medicine or any treatment is it curable or not
Female | 16
Face warts come from a virus that spreads from person to person. It’s very contagious within families. Although warts aren’t serious, they can be annoying. Special creams, freezing, or laser treatment can be used to remove them. However, they may return later. You should talk with a dermatologist about what will work best for you.
